So what will you be wearing on the beach this year?

[ThePhantomPlopper]

Am searching for swimwear.

It's hard.

Probably a jumper. Hopefully not a cagoule.

TK Maxx ?

moontide reversibles if I can face the bikini
otherwise swimsuit from figleaves (don't recall the brand)
plus beach dress cover up from tkmaxx

Last year I had a bikini with fitted cups and sort of boy-short pants plus a couple of pairs of shorts and a little sun dress.

This year I need a new bikini in the same sort of shape and I'd like a short sarong I think (was told by Cod last year that sarongs were a crime but I still think it would be more flattering than shorts).

A burkha.

A wetsuit!

What sort of swimwear are you seeking?

LOL at FromGirders.

I bought some fab bikinis from TK Maxx last year. A Michael Kors one and another from Rip Curl. THey are both very well made, dont sag in places like cheaper bikinis do and were a fraction of the original price.

I wear beach dresses, shorts and vest tops, kaftans but NEVER sarong. Think they are totally hideous and make you look so much bigger than you really are.

right you have just made me order two new bikinis from herewww.brasandhoney.com/freya-swimwear/

and have ordered a speculative tankini for when playing on beach beacuse
my stomach is worse than ever.

Agree dresses are better and also you need to pay ££ to get a nice swimsuit

a tent

EA - in my experience, tankinis can often highlight problem tummy rather than hide it. Any I have tried on have always created a nice space for my belly to just slightly hang out of.

I have a "Julia Roberts tummy" (ie a bit crepey with a gentle sag ). For the first few days, I wear a vest top over my bikini when I am running around with DCs on beach and take off for sunbathing/swimming. Once I have a bit of colour on my tummy I really don't care and happily run around playing football etc with saggy tum on show. The key thing is to have good quality bikini - a wobbly tum is more forgivable if your ass and boobs are adequately supported

i think i agree

Hmmm. I think I am going to have to buck the trend of a lifetime and wear a swimming cozzie this year. No bikini is going to flatter my second-csection-six-mths-ago tum, methinks.

I think I want a bikini, but I have a bit of crêpey skin around my belly button which isn't too pleasant.

Yes sarongs are not good.

Are sarongs really that bad? I mean one that is mini skirt length?

Otherwise, what are the alternatives to shorts please? I had one little sun dress last year but really just wanted something to pop on with the bikini top.

What about a kaftan?

I have loads but don't really like them either TBH they are good for throwing on when walking to beach/pool on holiday.

All the kaftans I've seen have got sleeves. It was so hot last year I deffo didn't want anything with sleeves! Also they make norks look humongous.

monsoon kaftans
monsoon beach dress

I bought a sleeveless red beach dress and a strapless one from Next last year. Hang on.....will look and see what they have this year. THey were very cheap but such nice quality (I wear the red one now layered up with t-shirt and jeans).

Agree, depending on cut of kaftan can make norks looks mahoosive in a very unflattering way. However, something slim cut with fitted sleeves rather than bell sleeves would be fine.

I also wear a denim mini to and from the beach.......an item which I would not usually wear in public outside of the back garden But with a pair of flip flops and a basic vest top I think they look fine.

straplesss make me look like a bulgarian weight lifter

Nothing

LOL EA!

Can't find any beach dresses on Next site yet. But they definitely have them in stores already.

I agree a vest t shirt and pants isa good look
the KEY is a bra that fits and a COLOUR that suits
when you are on the beach its the colour and tits you notice if they are bad

htis just DOESNT fit her

I'm thinking of buying a couple of these in different colours.
